I think everybody is interested in the actual state of

• 20.04 development-process:
  How far is this process ongoing? Are there any bigger problems? Is there an approximate timetable for the release?

• VoLTE:

I don't understand why people want to change from iOS/Android to UT but on the other hand still want to use all their services. In my opinion one effort of UT is, that you don't have to use accounts and services from these big companies and still have a functional and free phone in your hand.

I've upgraded my Volla from 16.04 to 20.04 with the installer. Here are my observations:

• Upgrade was easy and there were no problems with installing.
• With the first boot, the introduction/first start screen (Welcome to 20.04...) came up.
• My first SIM-card is PIN-protected and the system doesn't ask for the PIN automatically anymore. Now I have to unlock the card manually from the indicators. The second card (without PIN) works fine. The System is asking for the PIN-Code automatically.
• GPS is working with uNav.
• Calls (in/out) are working.
• WIFI is working.
• Cellular data is working (but only with SIM1).
• Flashlight is working. You can use the flashlight now with the app "uTorch", too.
• Automatic screen dimming is working.
• Camera is working (photo and video).
• Hotspot can be activated, but the device which wants to use the hotspot doesn't get an IP-address. Hotspot is working.
• Shutdown/Reboot from the indicator is working.
• Updates through WIFI are working.
• Battery-life seems to be like under Xenial.
• OSD (e.g. volume up/down) is working.
• Fingerprint is working.

I'll update this post if I realize any changes.

Update 26.12.2022: I've switched the phone to the 20.04 RC-channel and resetted the device using the "Erase & Reset All"-Option under system-settings.
Update 05.01.2023: I've switched to devel-channel.
Update 29.03.2023: I've made a fresh install of 20.04 stable OTA-1 via the installer with "wipe"-option
Update 01.08.2023: Update to OTA-2 via System-Settings

Is somebody able to tell about the status of "First steps in VoLTE"?
Is this project started, in which phase are we now, actual problems/showstopper, forecast?
I think this may help to clarify where UT stands in case of VoLTE.

Thanks

@domubpkm Work has started to open the door for you

@naizena When flashing my Volla with the installer it sometimes was so that the installer didn't restart my phone to fastboot-mode. It also said "flashing firmware partitions using fastboot" but I think it was still waiting for the phone to enter fastboot-mode.
When I restart my phone and select fastboot manually then the installer instantly started flashing. The whole process of flashing my device (with downloading files) takes around 5 minutes.
You can enter fastboot-mode by press and hold the power-button and volume-lower-button. Then there comes a little menu-selection where you can choose fastboot

How is the development of the "Bluez Upgrade" going on? On the Github project-page there's no status change. It would be nice if I can use the handsfree in my (new) car again.

Maybe you can test if it depends on your media files or something else. It seems that there is an option to prevent mediascanner from scanning separate folders by creating a file named ".nomedia" in the folder you want to prevent from scanning. I think you have not so many folders containing media on your phone so it would be easy to test.
After that please delete the DB and reboot the phone. I would expect that the DB-file will be rebuild but the mediaplayer will not know/detect any media on your device. If there's no double boot too you have found the problem. If not the search goes on

Today Dekko2 is officially available for Focal in the Openstore and for me it's working like expected

@Flohack I think you had the right idea. The last couple of days I closed all opened apps before shutting down the device and there was no crash/restart of lomiri. So it could be that the issue is depending on the lower amount of ram. I will observe this behaviour. Thanks.

@Pingu2400 I don't know if an RDP app exists, but there is an app for VNC (both, client and server). With this you can connect from or to the phone. Another option is to use SSH for remote connecting.

Ich kann mich dem nur anschließen, apt sollte man bei den ARM-basierten Geräten lassen oder eben nur gezielt einsetzen. Dein benutztes apt update ist unkritisch, aber das anschließende upgrade -y kann auch schnell mal nach hinten losgehen.
Aber gut, wenn du jetzt das Upgrade via Systemeinstellungen hinbekommen hast, sollte ja alles wieder passen.

@ma On my Phone running UT 24.04 and Dekko 0.5.2 the mailboxes I have connected are working like expected (posteo.de and web.de)
What provider do you use? Maybe it needs a special verification. AFAIK Google needs a setting called "trust third-party-apps" (or something like that), maybe that's also needed with your provider.

@Bubu Kein Problem, falls es noch klemmt, sag' Bescheid.

@Bubu Ich glaube beim Upgrade von 20.04 auf 24.04 gab es ein paar Probleme, bei meinem Volla musste ich auch etwas warten bis es dann mal klappte. Du kannst aber auch einfach den Installer nehmen, musst dann aber halt drauf achten, dass du nur den Haken bei "bootstrap" setzt und nicht den bei "Daten löschen" (weiß gerade nicht genau wie der im Installer heißt). Dann installiert es einfach nur das aktuelle System und behält alle Daten und Apps bei.

@Bubu Auf welchem Softwarestand bist du denn jetzt und wo möchtest du hin?

@messayisto The bugreport for the Volla22 is linked in my above post.

@charly @messayisto Can you please add a bugreport for your devices for the problem with missing dial tone? I've already done a bugreport for the Volla22, but for your devices there are none. Hopefully this will prioritize this bug, as it's present in every(?) Volla device.

@pparent Sure, I can complement your bug report. But do you have the same experience?

• Press power button
• Backlight powers up
• No image is coming up

I've upgraded my Volla (yggdrasil) yesterday from 20.04 OTA-11 to 24.04-1.1 stable. Since then I already had two times where the phone freezes/crashes. When I press the power button to wake up the phone it seems that only the backlight is on but there is no picture. If pressing power button again, the backlight is off again. I can repeat this procedure several times without luck. Several minutes later the phone again wakes up like expected while pressing the power button.
After having a working phone again I checked the RAM&SWAP. Both of them were not totally used and had some reserve. Then today I tried to flood RAM&SWAP by starting many different apps and after a while my SWAP was filled 100% while the RAM does still have some free space. The phone is still usable and is not freezing/crashing...
